Hi there, please I need help in sourcing for US Visa interview date. My school program would commence on August 23rd and I'm still yet to see any available dates closer to August. Please add me up if there is any group you would like me to join or message me directly. Thanks 🙏

I advice you to quickly defer your admission and then pick a date.
You can send me email on chukwuekemprincess@gmail.com

So when I don't inform people about how I got date seeing how a lot of people are asking then i am a saint but when I do, I am a frauster.
Be informed that I am a responsible mother of 4
Be informed that I am also looking for visa like you,
Be informed that this page is for information and I have the right to pass an information here too, if you too lazy to email me and verify via any means you want then please keep up your energy.
God bless you

lucaschukwuka:

Lmao, what an idiot...[/quote]

If you have utilized all your chances for requesting emergency date and yet the dates you got are far from your resumption date what else can you do?
Like your resumption is july and the emergency date is October and you can't request again. What other option is left?

Guys, I have come to observe that many applicants have the proclivity of taking an action before coming here to ask questions about the same steps or actions they have taken. This attitude is absurd, improper and analogous to putting the cart before the horse. Let's try to refrain from that habit.

My advise is for you to ask your questions here first, to clarify all doubts, before going to take a decision or step that could have negative consequences in the application process, in the long term. However, if you are not uncertain about what to do, asking becomes irrelevant, do proceed.

In addition, There's also no need to patronize agents, most of them are not as sound as you think, and probably never had admission, funding or Visa to study in the US for themselves. Just last week, I was contacted by someone here to help secure an emergency appointment after her agent could not do the needful as he doesn't know the process.

All you need to excel in this hustle, is on this thread. Drop your questions and probably mention the experienced guys that are frequently here along with the questions.

Best of luck in your forth coming interviews.

Please explain the second paragraph

Schrodinger1:


No! It is free. You will not pay another visa fee. Go and fill a new DS-160 with Abuja as your new Location, update the new confirmation number on your Visa appointment page.

Raw fact: you can use your DS-160 with Lagos indicated as a location and Abuja as your place of interview. It is very allowed. Your info will just be transferred from Lagos to Abuja on the day of your interview.

This is so true , thank you for the advice

Please I want to change my DS 160 form from Lagos to Abuja, will I pay visa fee again or any other payment at all.

How do one apply for loan for living expenses. How long before payback

KemLaughs:
Who was that person asking about prodigy and student loans?

You have your answer here.

Congratulations! Go and Excel.

I was misguided and so even before my F I-20 got to me, I made a request from the school to send me my sevis number and school code throughh the advice of someone. So after the payments, I applied for visa and the interview dates showed 4th January 2024 whereas my start date is August 15, the same person asked me to apply for emergency visa without telling me that I would need to upload my sevis receipt and i20 which by the way I haven't gotten them. So I filled the emergency request page and uploaded only my admission letter, till date no response. Right now I'm confused because I just learnt that it's the f i20 that I was supposed to attach. Pls what do I do now

MistaJoey:
which news? Bro, just keep searching for dates, pick any available one and request from emergency appointment if you fall within 60days to resumption.

I got Admission too, was told funds have finished but that hopefully by August I could get 24k usd so I proceeded

Denizsmart:
I got too but i'm not accepting it because of no funding... were you funded? what course?

Pls bro I made a slight mistake in my DS 160 form and I have submitted. After filling my sponsor address which happened to be Canada address that ends with S7V 0G6 and then the space for postal code I was supposed to fill the same code S7V 0G6 even though it appeared on the address but its the postal code, now in place of that G, I wrote C. Will this be a problem or should I fill another form

mantics:


Since you have your I-20, proceed and start filling the DS160 form and also make payment to book appointment so as to get closer time. Do not forget to pay your SEVIS Fee at least 3days before your interview.

Best

jojoey:
Hello guys, please I’m filling my financial affidavit/support form and my sponsor is using his company account. Should I put the company name in bracket beside the sponsor’s name or I should write only the sponsor’s name? Someone should help please, I’m about to submit the documents to the school.

My school specially said they need only personal account so please be sure business account is acceptable before you go ahead

Wow! Congrats . I tap this blessings

Mayorism:
Hello All,

I want to thank you guys here for such a nice job in guiding F-1 visa hopefuls. I stumbled on this thread while searching for helpful info during preparation for my F-1 visa interview and I must confess the hunts and advice i garnered here were very helpful particularly regarding the particular kind kf questions to expect and how to convincingly answer them.

My interview, on the 18th May, was successful and I want to share the transcript here to encourage someone.

Program: Political Science, PhD
CoA: 43k
Funding: Full Ride

VO: Good Morning, passport and 1-20 please.
Me: Good morning (handing him the docs)

VO: Why are you going to the States? *starts typing vigorously*
Me: I am going for my PhD in Political Science @ XYZ

VO: How many schools did you apply to? *still typing*
Me: Just this one

VO: Why just this? *stops typing*
Me: One, the quality of its faculty and especially the works of two memners whose profile intersect with mine, and two, the opportunity for career growth in terms paper publications and conference attendances the program provides.

VO: Are you married?
Me: Yes, with two kids

VO: Are they travelling with you?
Me: Not for now

VO: Will they join you any time in the future?
Me: Yes, My kids are pretty too young to be detached from their dad for so long.

VO: I will be approving your visa
Me: Thank you.

I was so happy I almost forgot my 1-20. The VO had to call me back to get it.

My advice: Pray as hard as you can, what God cannot do does not exist. In my case, GRE was waived, English Test was piad for by my Program and I got full funding.

God is still in the business of blessing those who trust in Him. Shalom

My goodness! The Lord is good, I tap this for myself in Jesus name, which school please

MooreCode:
Hey Guys,

My first attempt. Help me thank God, my visa was approved June 3.

Thanks to everyone that posted their transcript here because I used it to practice.

My transcript:

VO : Your passport and I-20
Me: Good morning ( I passed it)

VO : Why did you choose this course and this school?
Me : I have been an ardent follower of professor xyz and he happens to be a lecturer in this great institution. Also, I have a couple of previous and current colleagues who are graduates of this institution and they have amazing reviews about the standard of education.

VO: what do you do currently?
Me: I’m a senior software engineer

VO: I can see you have a scholarship of 17k why is your sibling still sponsoring you with 32k?
Me: before the scholarship, she has already promised to sponsor me with that amount.

VO: What does she do?
Me: She was formally an accountant with xyz oil and gas Ltd but she currently runs her own company and she’s doing absolutely well.

VO: How long has she been running this company?
Me: 2 years now

VO: Are you sure she can afford the amount since she’s been running this business in this country for just two years?
Me: Oh yes, she makes a lot of profit and she already has a staff strength of 22 employees

VO: (Turns off mic and types for a long time and takes my i-20 to another of her colleagues to confirm a couple of things)
Me: (singing in my heart Moses bliss song titled faithful to fail me, also praying that I’ll not leave here with a blue paper)

VO: (closed my passport and returned I-20 slide her had into the pile of white paper)
Me: (singing in my heart JudiKay song titled Capable God)

VO: you’d need this 1-20 blah blah blah...(hand over my 1-20 with white sheet, said a lot of other instructions then said)
I wish you a safe trip to the United States of America.
Me: thank you.


When I stepped out, I was actually crying, a lot of people were telling me don’t worry you can try again, without realizing that I got an approval.

Guys, you need to pray, your visa is totally dependent on the person interviewing you, his/her mood and what ever they feel at that time.

A lot of people were more prepared than I was, answered better that I did, where asked more technical questions and they gave amazing answers but were also rejected.

I’m not trying to scare anyone but trust me, when you get there you’d see for yourself.

This is my first time and when I entered the hall, I was gripped with fear, but I had just one confidence, and that was God has gone before me and He was also with me.

I wish everyone success and thanks to Everyone sharing there experience.

sankofa:
Just writing this to encourage someone. Don't fret if you do not have scholarship or graduate assistantships. It helps to not have had past refusals, and to make sure what you are going to the US to study has bearing on your work experience. I got my visa today with $43,000 COA -- no scholarship or graduate assistanships.

Pls which school is that

Tamison:
Hello, I am a student at NCAT.

Please how long does it take for one to get the F I-20, I just submitted my statement of account and other documents on 27th of May. NCAT
Also I got a mail from the graduate coordinator that "we do not have funds at the moment but there is a high probabilty that you will get 24,000 USD per year from fall 2021, please how promising is this and is the fund ok

neurosci:

Nope, I don't know what is NCAT. But I heard that because of the pandemic, embassies now allows electronic I-20 as opposed to physically mailed copies. I'm not sure tho, but if that's the case, they should be able to email you I-20 to you immediately.

North Carolina Agricultural and TECHNICAL state University

neurosci:

Almost instantly since they should be able to send it to you electronically due to covid now.

Well they asked for the house address and also mentioned postal code so I'm certain it should be hardcopy but I haven't heard from them since 27th may.
Are you a student of NCAT
